actually, there were at one point in time 2 dif control rooms.. regular control and the (now defunct) master control

I don't doubt it now that I think about it(thoughts a little slow in the AM). I've seen TWC doing live updates on other networks, so I guess they'd need a second control room or something . Question though: Where do the producer work before there shows? I've never seen exactly, only the weather producers.
EDIT: The master control room isn't used now? Oy, I need to be updated on some things.

I'm pretty sure the satellite center is a control room, judging from the equipment I see from a distance away.

No, This is the control room here Go to pic's 46-48 http://www.weather.com/tv/studio/slideshow.html If the satellite center was the control room, they'd call it that. Satellite center is most likely like what most news places call the "assignment desk" and where the coordinate calls to get video from other news stations and such.

Those were taken in 2008, before the sat center came to be

And your point being? They wouldn't move the control room, that's way too many wires and such to re-route. You do realize that the producers have to get ready for their show somewhere before they go to the control room don't you? As well as the people that don't do weather, they have to be somewhere too. Its called the Satellite Center, because its a Satellite Center. Not a control room(or at least main one). Well the satellite center didn't come to be until they also started using the expert desk. Satellite center probably has been there for a while.
We all could be right about both. Let not argue this point, its plausible both could be control rooms. No idea why I cared to argue this lol. Sorry...

Ok, look. I was just pointing out the NBC logo on the camera. I know that NBC owns TWC. Don't get your panties in a wad about it...

Trevor, you shouldn't have a temper over a logo, it seems kinda childish just saying.

I won't be surprised if in the future there is a logo that has both TWC and NBC adjacent to each other (tv or online).

I was thinking the other day that we might see the same thing. Like the nbc logo part, but with TWC where it said NBC.

Hi, have been trying to get into my cine account lately. I pm'ed Martin days ago, but no reply. I type in the correct password, then given http://copper.yi.org:21863/cgi-bin/entry.cgi I tried accessing it a few months ago and got the same message. Just wondering if there is something I'm doing wrong. Anyway, Thank you for providing this free emulator. Great Work it is!

Thanks,

I agree with the post above. Who cares now? One question I want to know is why some of us act like we depend on TWC for weather? Half of us or more try to predict it. Seriously, I'm done caring about nbc and instead of being opposed to it, I'm looking at the positives. I like the idea of how TWC is more of like a talk show now, with weather. I understand not being happy about loosing weather coverage, but you don't need it do you? You have more access to weather content on the internet than you'll ever see on TWC. Face it, we watch because we want to be entertained now or just to get the national outlook of weather. IMO, turn it into a entertainment channel with weather on the side, I'm done caring. Its gone from what it used to be, get used to it. Its old now seeing complaints like "Oh, there not covering weather" really, have you not had enough time to adjust? Not trying to be rude or mean, just showing you the reality.

On DP, Heather is in the Satellite Center and Danielle is in the DMC 

They were doing that last week as well. Most likely because they're working in the studio currently.

Also have been hearing the occasional drop of a tool or retraction of a tape measure in the background of Heather's live shot at the expert desk.

That makes since, being that they are gutting the GFC, which is right behind the Satellite Center (control room)

The satellite center isn't the control room.  Control room is off of the GFC area I believe. Closer to the HD studio when they built the new one.

Sell the studio and move operations to 30 Rock.

Oy, I'm surprised they haven't done that already.

YWT/WUWA is hilarious this AM with Steph and Eric. Steph just called Eric a woman, he walked out of the shot, then Stephanie said "Aw, he walked out on me. Not like thats never happened before."
